After a full day of running at full speed Berto decided to stop in the middle of a desert, sitting on a rock to look around everything he could see were endless land full of sand without anything.
"Maybe this is why living in the city is a better idea than running away from it." (Berto)
Berto spoke to himself while he realized why none of the people in the abandoned city ever left, it was practically a death sentence.
Berto had been running for a full day in the sunbeam with temperatures near 45 degrees and at night -10 degrees below zero.
Thanks to the servo-armor that regulated and adjusted the temperature of the body to keep the user alive in cases of extreme climates Berto managed to stay well bodily.
[Hunger and thirst in moderate states we recommend intake of biological organic material]
[Do you want to consume monster specimen scale "Silver Mandible"?]
[The consumption of monster parts can cause mutations in the human body.]
The notification worried Berto since the mutations were a case never before seen or at least he had never heard of a human with monster properties.
Although Berto felt more hunger than curiosity at that time, so he decided to take a scale of the monster called "Silver Mandible" and his mouth immediately was covered in metal making his teeth were hard and able to consume the scale of the monster.
The scale did not have any type of flavor nor was it hard or soft thanks to the metal coating in the mouth.
Berto observed his body with the armor in light mode which allowed him to see his own body and after reviewing himself for a while he managed to find that no mutation had occurred.
Strangely Berto began to feel an intense hunger and began to eat scale after scale without stopping for a second.
[The disease "Ravenous hunger" has been registered in the body of the user.]
[Medical care available in the armor is unable to eliminate the disease]
[The user's appetite drastically increased in the days to come, if the user does not manage to consume enough food, this will begin to consume any living being to obtain the necessary nutrients until satisfied.]
[The "Silver Skin" mutation has been detected in the user's body.]
[Due to high levels of silver in the user's blood, the mutation of "silver skin" has appeared in the user's body.]
[Due to the exaggerated consumption of scales of the subject nicknamed "Silver Mandible" the user has been registered with Grade 5 silver skin mutation]
[The user's body will have a certain silver color and his skin will become harder than normal permanently.]
"EXAGGERATED CONSUMPTION?!?!?!" (Berto)
Berto immediately opened his inventory and noted that he only had 63 remaining scales of the huge silver crocodile which made it go pale.
Berto observed his own body and noticed that there was a layer of scales on it and as he ran his fingers over it he felt as if he were passing his hands over the stomach of a reptile.
Berto observed his reflection in a scale and saw that in his face there were certain parts of silver color with scale, so he did not worry much.
"The mutation does not seem to be more than a simple change in external appearance...the real problem is the disease "Ravenous hunger"(Berto)

Berto observed that Ravenous hunger appeared on the skills list as a skill.
"...why the hell that appears as a skill?!" (Berto)
Berto was confused but still he left his confusion for later because staying in the desert sun all day was a terrible idea.
Berto equipped his heavy armor and started running again hoping to find a different terrain soon.
